HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE

CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO

WORK

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not use adaptive

cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Pay close attention to

changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are unpaved, or steep slopes. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING:

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not use tire sizes

other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

WARNING:

When following a

vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Hilly Condition Usage

Select a lower gear when the system is
active in situations such as prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, for
example in mountainous areas.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

LIMITATIONS

Sensor Limitations

WARNING:

On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the
road infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these
cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required.

WARNING:

If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING:

The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING:

The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING:

The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING:

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

E307893

The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.

E307892

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.

Note:

You cannot see the sensor. It is

behind a fascia panel.

Note:

Keep the front of your vehicle free of

dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.

245

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function. See

Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages

(page 254).

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect
a vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does
not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:

E71621

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.

In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly.

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detection.

246

Adaptive Cruise Control

Following a Vehicle

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain the gap setting.

Note:

When you are following a vehicle and

you switch on a turn signal lamp, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small,
temporary acceleration to help you pass.

Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap
from the vehicle ahead until:

•

The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.

•

The vehicle in front of you moves out
of the lane you are in.

•

You set a new gap distance.

The system applies the brakes to slow
down your vehicle to maintain a safe gap
distance from the vehicle in front of you.
The system only applies limited braking.
You can override the system by applying
the brakes.

Note:

The brakes may emit noise when

applied by the system.

If the system determines that its maximum

setting when you start your vehicle.

LANE CENTERING

HOW DOES LANE CENTERING

WORK

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help
keep your vehicle in the middle of the lane
by applying continuous assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center on
highways.

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally.

If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
continuous assistance steering torque
input toward the preferred position.

Note:

The system can only set preferred

lane positions within the lane.

Note:

If the system cancels, the preferred

position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center.

LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the system

when towing a trailer. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.

250

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

WARNING:

wheel at all times.

The system only activates when all of the
following occur:

•

You have adaptive cruise control with
stop and go on.

•

You have your hands on the steering
wheel.

•

The system detects both lane
markings.

Note:

If it does not detect valid lane

markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.

LANE CENTERING LIMITATIONS

Adaptive cruise control limitations apply
to lane centering unless stated otherwise
or contradicted by a lane centering
limitation. See

Adaptive Cruise Control

Limitations

(page 245).

Lane Centering may not correctly operate
in any of the following conditions:

•

LANE CENTERING ALERTS

You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a period of time, the
system alerts you to put your hands on the
steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows
your vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.

The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.

Note:

The system could detect a light grip

or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.

When the system cancels due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of
the vehicle. If you ignore this alert, the
system slows the vehicle while maintaining
steering control.

LANE CENTERING AUTOMATIC

CANCELLATION

When an external condition cancels the

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE

CRUISE CONTROL

HOW DOES INTELLIGENT

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

WORK

Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition and
navigation map data with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system detects
new speed signs, the set speed updates.

There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. The intelligent
adaptive cruise control system and its
ability to determine the current speed limit
shares these limitations. See

Speed Sign

Recognition

(page 284).

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE

CONTROL

The system delivers a driving experience
through a suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems optimize
steering, handling and powertrain
response. This provides a single location
to control multiple systems performance
settings.

Changing the drive mode changes the
functionality of the following systems:

•

Electric power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select. See

Electric Power Steering

Precautions

(page 229).

•

Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving. See

Stability

Control

(page 227).

•

Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
inputs.

•

Transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules tuned
to each mode.

•

Four-wheel drive settings are optimized
and tuned to each mode.

•

Electric vehicle mode selections may
be limited.

The system tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.

Note:

Not all settings may be available.

Note:

The system has diagnostic checks

that continuously monitor the system for
proper operation. If a mode is unavailable
due to a system fault or change in gear
shifter position, the mode defaults to
Normal.

DRIVE MODES

DEEP SNOW/SAND

(If Equipped)

E295420

Use this mode to aid you in
getting your vehicle unstuck
from deep snow or sand.

Note:

The intent of your all-wheel drive

vehicle is not for off-road use. The all-wheel
drive feature allows for driving on relatively
level surfaces, obstruction free and similar
to normal on-road driving conditions.
Operating your vehicle in other conditions
could lead to excessive stress that could
result in damage not covered by the
warranty.

Note:

This mode is not intended for driving

on snowy roads. For snowy roads use
slippery mode.

Note:

Using deep snow/sand mode on dry,

hard surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire wear. This mode is for slippery and loose
surfaces.

ECO

E295413

For efficient driving. This mode
helps deliver maximum fuel
efficiency and helps to increase

driving range.

NORMAL

E225310

For everyday driving. This mode
is a perfect balance of
excitement, comfort and

convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle.

SLIPPERY

E295414

For less than ideal road
conditions such as snow or ice
covered roads. This mode lowers

throttle response, adjusts transmission
shift points, and optimizes vehicle stability
controls to help mitigate wheel spin and
maintain vehicle control when driving in
winter conditions.

Note:

Using slippery mode on dry, hard

surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire wear.

SPORT

E246593

For sporty driving with improved
performance handling and
response. This mode increases

accelerator pedal response, enhances
steering to provide a sportier feel, and
adjusts transmission shift points for quicker

E327677

E327

327

E327

677

Your vehicle contains selectable electric
vehicle (EV) modes. Press the button on
the center console to change the mode.

Depending on your drive mode selection
some EV modes may not be available. EV
Now and EV Later modes are only
available when you have electric-only
driving range available.

AUTO EV

E287836

This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,

staying in electric mode when possible and
running the engine when needed.

EV CHARGE

E287822

This mode uses your vehicle's
engine to charge the high voltage
battery versus plugging the

vehicle into a utility grid.

The electric range gained through the EV
Charge allows you to switch to Auto EV or
EV Now for full electric operation later in
your drive. The battery cannot completely
charge to 100% when in EV Charge mode.
This is to allow for full operation of the
regenerative braking system. When the
battery reaches its EV Charge limit, the
vehicle remains in EV Charge mode and
maintains that charge level, until you select
another EV Mode, or until you switch your
vehicle off.

When you enable EV Charge, a white EV
Charge icon appears in the information
display.

EV Charge resets to Auto EV when you
switch off your vehicle. You may select EV
Charge again using the EV button during
your next drive.

EV LATER

E287824

In EV Later, your vehicle runs on
the engine as needed and saves
most of the available electric

range for later use in Auto EV or EV Now
mode.

For example, your initial drive is at high
speeds on open roads, but later your drive
is at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only driving is most efficient. In this
case, you can select EV Later for the higher
speed portion of your trip and then select
Auto EV or EV Now for the urban portion.

When you enable EV Later, a white EV
Later icon appears in the information
display. EV Later resets to Auto EV when
you switch off your vehicle. You may select
EV Later again using the EV button during
your next drive.
